A Hogwarts dissertation guide

Because Ron's ceremonial robe is like a skirt, this is an unavoidable fact.In a desperate attempt to add a bit of masculinity to the robe, Ron cast a cutting charm on the pleats and lace.

It worked, at least the lace on the clothes was gone, but he didn't do his job smoothly. When a few boys started to go downstairs, his collar and cuffs were still raw, which made him completely frustrated.

"Not only can I not find a dance partner, I can't even remove these disgusting lace edges!" Ron said gloomily, and he irritably pulled the threads off the cuffs - but this seemed to make things worse, the cuffs were open It was threaded, and Ron had to cover it up a bit to avoid anyone seeing that his cuffs had come apart.

Harry noticed this, but he didn't say anything. He just stood quietly in front of Ron and blocked Ron's sleeve with his body.

They went downstairs together. The common room looked strange. The people inside were no longer all in black robes, but in colorful ceremonial robes.Harry took a deep breath, he still had to find Pansy - God knew how he was going to get to the common room, those Slytherins were going to tear him apart.

But he still had to do it, because...he had already promised Pansy.

And it seemed that Pansy didn't have the courage to come to the Gryffindor common room. Others didn't dare to say that the relationship between the Weasley brothers and Slytherin was in deep trouble.

On the sofa in the principal's office on the eighth floor, Edward was wearing a black velvet silk robe. At first glance, it looked quite ordinary, almost the same as his usual black robe.But as long as someone is willing to come up and take a closer look, they can find that every stitch and thread are perfectly outlined. The crisp tailoring makes the whole dress look strong and neat, which is just right for Edward's "unpretentious" character.

Looking at this black robe alone, it is definitely quite "simple", but on his left chest, a gleaming black gemstone brooch shines.

"I once read a book in the family library... Could this be... the treasure of Estes?" Dumbledore narrowed his eyes and fixed on Edward's chest, "This is a rare thing. treasure."

"It's okay, it's just a pretty little brooch." Edward said nonchalantly. He just picked out a reasonably matching brooch from the wardrobe.

There was a knock on the oak door, and a little head poked in.

Hermione's appearance really stunned Dumbledore. He hesitated for a while before smiling humorously, "I was still wondering when such a beautiful girl appeared in Hogwarts."

"Where is it?" Hermione said shyly, "I'm here to see the teacher..."

The three of them left the principal's office together. When they walked through the marble stairs to the foyer, almost everyone was so amazed by Hermione that they didn't even notice Edward beside her for a moment.

The foyer was packed with students, milling back and forth, waiting for eight o'clock to arrive, when the doors to the auditorium would open.Some people wanted to meet their dance partners from other colleges, so they squeezed sideways through the crowd to look for each other.

But, since Edward and Dumbledore have arrived, the door opens at eight o'clock... naturally it doesn't matter.

"Hermione!?" Harry couldn't help but exclaimed. He recognized the girl next to Edward at a glance as the girl in the blue dress in the corridor before, but a fact that surprised him even more was-she actually It's Hermione!

But she looked nothing like Hermione.

"Hello, Harry," said Hermione, "Hello, Parkinson."

Pansy stared at Hermione with undisguised suspicion. She was not the only one who did this. When the door to the auditorium opened, almost all the girls' eyes stopped on Hermione.Pansy held Harry's arm tightly, as if she wanted to hang on to him.

Everyone was seated in the auditorium, and Professor McGonagall asked the warriors and their dance partners to line up two by two and follow her in - of course, when she saw Edward, she couldn't help laughing.

"I thought you wouldn't take such a small thing to your heart." Professor McGonagall whispered as she passed Edward, "But I didn't expect you to participate."

"After all, they are my students." Edward said helplessly. He and Hermione stood at the end, appearing as the finale.

They filed in and headed towards the large round table at the front of the auditorium where the referees were seated. The people in the auditorium applauded enthusiastically.

But there was a vacancy in that position, and the previous Barty Crouch did not appear. Instead, Percy Weasley sat in his position.

Harry seemed very nervous, his whole body was tense, and the arm holding Pansy was shaking slightly.

The walls of the auditorium were covered with glittering silver frost, and the ceiling was a starry night sky, hung with hundreds of garlands of mistletoe sprigs and ivy.The four academy tables were gone, replaced by a hundred small tables lit with lanterns, with about a dozen people sitting at each table.

The warriors came to the front of the guest table. Dumbledore smiled happily and even secretly winked at Edward. It seemed that it was rare to see him like this.But Karkaroff's face became very embarrassed, and no one knew why - maybe he knew that Hermione rejected Krum's relationship, which made him think that Hermione and Edward looked down on Durmstrang.

Bagman was wearing a bright purple robe tonight with big yellow stars printed on it, and he clapped his hands as enthusiastically as his classmates.Madame Maxime shed her usual black satin uniform and wore a flowing lavender gown.Percy took Crouch's place, wearing a brand new navy blue robe, with a triumphant expression on his face, as if he wanted others to see him sitting on the referee's bench.

The glittering dinner plates were still empty, but a small menu was placed in front of everyone.Almost everyone was a little confused - after all, they had never seen such a scene before.

Dumbledore looked at the menu in front of him carefully, and then said very clearly to his plate: "Pork chops!"

The pork chops appeared immediately, and the others suddenly realized that today had been switched to an a la carte system, and they followed suit and ordered a lot of their favorite foods.

"It would be great if schools adopt this ordering method in the future!" Hermione said softly, "Occasionally I also want to eat something other than turkey and steak..."

"I'll suggest it to Albus." Edward said. He just ordered a vegetable salad for himself and leaned aside to chat absentmindedly.

At a table, Durmstrang's boy with rosacea, Polyarko, excitedly ordered a table of red wine, which made the other students at the table wrinkle their noses.
